Leave your thoughts about Springfield Rifle.
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostVisually fine Western, that is as much a crime drama or spy film as a Western. |
| User ReviewZoran SExcellent western from the underrated DeToth. Cooper is at the center of a complex Civil War era espionage plot. The film flies through twists and turns with double cross after double cross. Cooper is his usual understated self, which works perfectly for the film. DeToth does everything economically and efficiently. Great 50s western. |
| User ReviewTimothy Jgary cooper stars in what was his 3rd western in a row, Visually fine Western, that is as much a crime drama or spy film as a Western. |
| User ReviewMartin AGary Cooper goes undercover to find a corrupt goings on within the Calvary,Enjoyable cowboy movie romp |
| User ReviewOrlok WGary Cooper goes undercover to find a corrupt goings on within the Calvary,And of course Gary stands against this,The film was a run of Westerns Gary Cooper starred in at the time, but this is one of the best,Plenty of gun action and chase scene's Enjoyable cowboy movie |
| User ReviewJohn YPretty good spy western. Of course Gary Cooper is good in just about anything he does. |
| User ReviewAshley HSpringfield Rifle is an okay film. It is about Major Lex Kearney who becomes the North's first counterespionage agent. Gary Cooper and Phyllis Thaxter give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Andre De Toth did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. |
| User ReviewLily Lung GThis is my first encounter with a western espionage movie and who better to play the spy than gary cooper. Not a great film by any means, a merely entertaining one. Cooper plays a disgraced northern soldier who really is just going undercover to find out who is jeopardizing the northen efforts. |
| User ReviewMelissa MIt was quite a complex plot, so at times I couldn't follow too well (small brain, I guess). Overall pretty enjoyable--my brother liked it better than I did, though. |
| User ReviewScott RA different kind of western. A little spotty on the plot though. Beautiful scenery. |
